Deadlockfilm goes live!

So, the site is finally up now.

Ten years ago today we were in the midst of a gruelling ending scene shoot, with the cottage full of unwieldy teenagers, us included. The firewood situation was looking bad and I hadn't really slept for a week.

Thankfully, that was a long time ago, and today the film and trailers can be viewed in the watch section. Enjoy.
